Been saying this for weeks. If you have been listening to what Swann has been saying, you knew he already made this decision mid-season. Two other things made a change very unlikely: Helton’s $15m buyout and the current lack of a University president… making the decision on your own to change the most high profile employee at the university and cost the university $15 in the process? You don’t do that without knowing your back is protected by the administration… no way Swann was going to step out on that branch by himself.
